Is there any way to remove this week's automatic software/ firmware updates

I installed 4 or 5 of the automatic updates this week and have been having several problems since. First i was having problems booting but resolved this from the start disk. Then I was recieving a message saying that the superdrive firmware update was wasnt needed for any hardware on my computer even though i have a superdrive, so i deleted that....
Anyways now I cant seem to use my pro tools l.e. audio recording program. It just wont start up.
Is there any way to go through and remove all of these new updates to see if that resolves the conflict so i dont have to reinstall os x?

Hello t:
A direct answer - no. I recommend to everyone that they have a good retreat/backup strategy. I make bootable clones of my iMacs on an external firewire drive using a little program called SuperDuper ($28 at www.shirt-pocket.com).
If you decide to retreat, I would use the archive and install approach.
Before you do that, I would run repair disk from your software install DVD to see if that addresses your problems.

  • Cannot access iCloud because I don't have the primary email and password I originally set it up with. Is there any way to remove this primary username and password without either the email address and the password?

    How do I delete an old iCloud username and password. I have neither of them anymore and cannot access icloud to change settings. Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    IF it is a manufacturing defect and you bought the device from Apple or an authorized Apple retailer, then take it into Apple.

  • ITunes keeps removing music from my library! Is there any way to get this to stop?

    For the last three years or so iTunes intermittently removes parts of my library. I'm so sick of dealing with this! I'm beginning to intensely dislike Apple. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to what it's removing and I don't think it's the same songs every time. Is there any way to remedy this from happening so often?

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

    Hi, I'm new at this but I am hoping someone can help me.I have recently been away for 5 weeks and my Tom Tom required updating.When I clicked to update it, it required a pc. As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc?  I was without this app for 3 weeks!  Thanks, Lea

    The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download.  If will take about an hour. 

  • When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

    When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I no longer have my apple login email address as it was associated with my previous job. I can't change it over to my current email address as this was my secondary. Is there any way to do this?

    I no longer have the email address associated with my Apple account as it was through my previous employer. When I attempt to change it to my current email address, I can't as it was my backup to the old one. Is there any way to do this?

    Hey arnwrkr,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you wish to change the email address associated with your Apple ID, however the address you wish to use is already in use as your rescue email address. To accomplish your goal, we’ll need to first remove your rescue email address:
    Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Next, you can change your Apple ID to new this email address:
    Change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    And finally, be sure to update the features and services that you use with your Apple ID:

  • Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8?

    Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8? I would prefer to not have that listed if at all posible and can't find a solution.

    Are you talking about the Time Remaining display on the side bar? The text for that field is in the Modify Text Labels... tool in the Theme Editor of Presenter. You can change it to whatever you want, but you may want to keep a record of what the default text labels are, as there is no restore to default option. The Elapsed Time field is what you would want to change. I have seen this modified to show no text, copyright information or other general info.

    Select the Inbox folder to see emails.
    click on first email to get focus.
    Hold down 'Ctrl' key and press 'A' key
    This will highlight /select all emails.
    they will appear as conversations in the Message Pane
    Clickon Delete.
    when it has finished - you do have a lot of emails :)
    Right click on Inbox and select 'compact' - this removes all marked as deleted emails.

    Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
    SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
    '''''Address Bar Search'''''
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
    Does that work?
    '''''Search Box'''''
    Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
    Do either of those work?
    There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

  • Is there any way to remove my name from the profil...

    Is there any way to remove or prevent my profile from appearing in the profile search directory? I'm so tired of ALL the unwanted contact requests. Yeah I know I don't have to add them but this shouldnt even be a problem in the first place. If I want to add someone to add me I'll give them my skype name.

    Hi, Phnxbane, and welcome to the Community,
    You may certainly remove all profile data by leaving those settings as "blank" or "not specified."  I find the easiest way to do this is to open the profile settings from within the Skype "client" software.
    Removing/deleting an account name from the Skype search directory closes the account.  More details about this can be found here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'

  • Is there any way to remove the see-through grayscreen and the 8-dotted circle whenever mozilla loads a html5(.webm) video?

    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Its especially annoying when you need to watch the movie frame by frame and loading grayscreen darkens it so that you can see alot of less details :/
    Is there any way of removing that gray whatever?

    Your original question was:
    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Could you post a link to a web page where you see this problem?
    I couldn't find a test page for an embedded HTML5 webm video but I found this link to a webm file:
    *http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm
    The above webm file link is from this test page:
    *http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html
    (The embedded video on that page is actually a mp4 file). That test page is linked from the Mozilla Support article, [[Viewing HTML5 audio and video in Firefox]].
    I have no problem using the slider to forward or back up video playback in either the embedded HTML5 mp4 video or the webm video linked above.

    sounds like a nice guy! if he won't let you touch his phone this may work out better for you...tell him to handle the problem himself.
